Crazy new iOS 7 feature I bet you didn't know about!

So a new non-customizeable feature on iOS 7 is it randomly removing all of your contacts! You check your texts one minute and the next they are all nameless! Want to call someone? Hope you have them saved as a favorite! Cause everything else is gone....


Seriously. WTF all of my contacts are now gone. Anyone know how to sync contacts with the cloud? I think I backed them up.

So how do I fix it? I feel like phones aren't supposed to just delete your contacts while the phone is idle.

The update really isn't all that great imo, honestly I wish I didn't do it. I like the look of iOS6 much more.

yeah i spent 7 hours waiting for 17 aps to update and itunes didnt update. I went to the itunes website and itunes didnt download.

It wasnt until I found a direct dmg that I could update itunes... just to switch back to ios6

Consider yourself lucky. My buddy just updated his and now all of his incoming texts are going to his mother as well because they are on the same plan.

Fuck Apple buy an S4

zomg, you mean there are bugs on launch day of a new phone? You should have seen the amount of android bugs we deal with everyday. FAR more than apple by far. From erased contacts, pictures, random numbers, etc. The number of hardware problems with the S3 is unbelievable too, and they dont do shit to fix it, unless you have insurance. Meanwhile, my iphone wifi firmware went bad, went to the apple store, and they handed me a new phone. Feelsgood.jpg

More likely because they're on the same iCloud account. If you're too retarded to use an iPhone you're too retarded to use an S4, so you might as well just stay away from cell phones and communicate by mail only.
